When an employee submits an approved out-of-pocket expense in Mesh, Mesh checks their worker type. If they're a Deel-managed worker, their expense syncs automatically to Deel as a reimbursement, while expenses for everyone else continue through your existing ERP process. Finance teams can track each reimbursement's status directly in Mesh, from processing through Deel's approval, and jump straight to the matching record in Deel when needed.

Admins control exactly which worker populations sync to Deel by mapping Deel hiring types, like contractor, EOR, and PEO, to Mesh's employee-type field, then choosing a Sync Mode per type: Simple for expenses considered synced as soon as they're created, or Full Approval for those that need to clear Deel's own approval cycle first, like EOR employees. Deel-approved expense categories pull in live based on each employee's contract type, so the options employees see always match what's allowed in Deel. The integration connects through secure, least-privilege OAuth, giving Mesh only what it needs to match employees and create reimbursement adjustments, never access to payroll runs, payouts, or banking details. Status updates sync back automatically about once an hour, with a manual refresh available anytime, and failed syncs can be corrected and re-sent without ever creating a duplicate record in Deel.
